You’re the reason spellcasters distrust other spellcasters. Your occupation involves copying spells from the spellbooks of the best wizards and selling them to the highest bidder, whether it be a crime syndicate, another wizard, or the wizard who owned the spell originally.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two: Arcana, History, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth
- Tool Proficiencies: Choose one: Disguise Kit, Forgery Kit, or Thieves' Tools
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: The chosen tool/kit, a scholar's pack, silken rope (50') with a grappling hook, fine clothes with a hooded cloak, and a small Pouch containing 5gp.
Feature: Spell Scribe
From the years of practice, you learned how to speed-copy spells so wizards won't notice that their spellbook or scrolls are missing. When you come across written spells, you can take time to create a non-magical Spell Scroll of the spell. The scroll can be used to copy the spell to other sources at a later date but cannot be used to produce the spell itself. The time taken to create the scroll is equal to 3 minutes times the spell level, (Cantrips take 2 minutes).
Suggested Characteristics
Thieves might seem like villains on the surface, and many of them are villainous to the core. But some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There is honor among you and other thieves.
